Sir
The papers in the case of Mrs. Mary Brown widow of William Brown did have been examined and filed with mis- -died case. It is alleged that her husband served as an enlisted soldier of the 5 th Penna. Inf ty until the end of the war. The testimony of two witnesses should be exhibited showing who had a personal knowledge of her husband's service, and who can testify to the time at which he enlisted. There were several of the name of William Brown who served in the Penna. various lines. It is therefore necessary that the most undoubted proof of the claimant being the widow of William Brown who served as alleged is required.
The papers in the case of

M rs Mary Fulmer widow of John Fulmer has have also been examined, and filed with the  suspended case . It is alleged that her husband served in Captain Bedkin's company and Pulaski's Legion for 18 months from 1778. He was present and that he then joined the French army and served until the end of the war. There are rolls in this office of Captain Bed- -kin's company embracing the period of the alleged service and her hus- band's name is not borne thereon. The service under the officers attached to the French army will not entitle her to a pension. The claim has therefore been rejected and the paper filed.
